Originally published in 1954, this account by a member of Britain's legal team in the war crimes trials following World War II "rises above the well-known abuses of the Holocaust to highlight Nazi abuses on a broader and more savage scale" (Military Review). While the Final Solution was a unique and unparalleled horror, German atrocities did not end there. The Nazis terrorized their own citizens, tortured and murdered POWs, and carried out countless executions throughout occupied Europe. From his first-hand position at the trial, Lord Russell of Liverpool (Edward Frederick Langley Russell) chronicles how the actions of the Third Reich were illegal as well as immoral.
